For more information, please contactyour nearest AESSEAL ® representative.Style 285TP PAPERSTAR is meta-aramid fibre with a PTFEblocking agent and a special run-in lubricant. Suitable for use inthe paper and pulp industry, sugar plants and waste watertreatment, Style 285TP offers a clean packing solution, oftenrequired in applications where contamination must be avoided.FDA compliant Style 745TP FOODSTAR is used in thepharmaceutical, chemical, pulp and paper and food sectors. Thiswhite coloured packing is suitable for use in temperatures rangingfrom -100 C to +280 C, and in applications with a pH value of 1to14.Braided from 100% GORE PTFE-Graphite incorporated fibre withrun-in lubricant, Style 795TP UNISTAR is used in pumps,agitators, refiners, kneading devices and turbines. Characteristicsinclude excellent heat conductivity and universal chemicalresistance. Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -100 Cto +280 C, and in applications with pH value of 0 to 14.AESTEX is a non-aging expanded 100% PTFE joint sealant withself adhesive backing. Available in sizes ranging from 3mm to40mm with a number of different coil lengths.The productboasts a vasttemperaturerange between -240 C to +270 C,and pH value of 0to 14.C oolr u n n i n gMany applications use water for this purpose which isconnected to the flush or quench connection on the pump.However, this methodology can be extremely wasteful,particularly where the fluid is subsequently directed to drain(that is not filtered and re-circulated). The net effect acrossindustry is millions of litres wasted per annum. Invariably, thiswaste has to be treated as trade effluent.The FLOWTRUE operates by reducing the amount of waterrequired to cool the sealing environment. The innovativedesign typically reduces consumption to 1 / 3 of its previousvolume. The result is a better controlled cooling managementsystem coupled with often significant fluid volume and costsavings particularly in the case of water.The FLOWTRUE can be used in a variety of industries, butis particularly effective where manufacturing processesconsume a lot of water. Applications include Food &Beverage, Brewing and Pulp & Paper. An example includesFristam evaporator pumps found in the Dairy Industry.Easy to install, FLOWTRUE has a number of features andbenefits which set it apart. This includes a patented flow tubedesign to help prevent clogging, an issue with traditional flowmeters.Please contact your local AESSEAL ® representative forfurther information or visit www.aesseal.com.FeaturesInnovative flow tube cleaningmechanism.Tapered flow cartridge design.Integrated non-return valve.Unique segmental design.Modular design.AESSEAL s FLOWTRUE is apatented flow meter devicedesigned for use withmechanical seals includingComponent Seals. This is morecommon with doubleComponent Seal arrangements(such as the T01F for use onFristam pumps).Numerous applications requirethe introduction of a pressurisedfluid to help lubricate andreduce the heat at the point ofsealing. This methodology helpsto increase plant-uptime.BenefitsThe device can be cleanedwithout interrupting flow andpressures to the seal.Provides larger clearances thatprevent FLOWTRUE fromclogging.Protects plant water supply fromproduct contamination.Prevents FLOWTRUE fromclogging.Ensures that the device can beeasily upgraded and repaired.Promotional material is available on request or from the website: www.componentseals.comAESSEAL plc recognises all trademarks & trademark names as the property of their owners - Copyright © 2009 AESSEAL plc
